TONIGHT SHOW, THE

Air Date/Released Thursday, November 18, 1993
Station/Studio NBC / Big Dog Productions
Host/Star Jay Leno

THE TONIGHT SHOW, starring Jay Leno from 1992 (excluding his short sabbatical of June 2009 – February 2010) to 2014.

Voice actor Billy West discusses his early career playing the small clubs around Boston, first as a musician, then stand-up, and his segue into impressions and voiceovers. As the cartoon voices of “Ren & Stimpy,” Billy reveals Larry Fine as his inspiration for the voice of Stimpy, providing some sample impersonations of the third Stooge:
Hey Moe, I peed on my shoe.
Hey Moe, I’m on heroin again.

West makes the observation that Larry was the peripheral Stooge... "The Keith Richards of The Three Stooges."


Billy West was a guest of the 1990 and 1991 Three Stooges Convention in Trevose PA, and the 1992 Three Stooges Convention in Lewiston ME. He performed in tribute to “Larry Fine” for all three events.
